Wow, this is disappointing news but I can't say I'm surprised.
I had an E46 M3 that went through two separate recalls for an engine bearing issue. Then a year after the warranty expired, the head gasket went. That was a $6000 repair, luckily paid for by my extended warranty. When it came time to sell the car, I didn't seriously consider the next gen M3 or the M5 and went to a 997 Turbo which has been rock solid.
I had actually just started to look for a replacement for my wife's car and really liked the F10 M5 but thinking back to my M3's problems (and today's news) gives me pause. BMW's main focus these days seem to be on churning out cheaper models like the 1 & 3 series and slapping M's on 1 series, X5s & X6s.
